INTRODUCING CENTAMETER
A SOFTWARE LICENSE MANAGEMENT TOOL

HANOVER, NH - June 7, 1994 - Tally Systems Corp. today announced the
release of CentaMeter, a software license management tool that monitors
license compliance and optimizes software usage for both network and
locally installed software. This powerful metering package is the latest
advancement from Tally Systems Corp., the originator and recognized leader
in desktop inventory software.

CentaMeter is an easy to use and sophisticated solution to license
management, providing license compliance and intelligent management of
software investments. By allowing for the legal concurrent use of software
applications, along with usage tracking, CentaMeter ensures the efficient
use of resources and provides valuable management information while
allowing organizations to save time and money.

"CentaMeter can save the typical corporation over 50% on application
software purchases and upgrades. Concurrent use is an obvious choice to
reduce exploding software budgets," states Ted Jastrzembski, president of
Tally Systems. "Our customers are really excited about CentaMeter, they
can see immediate cost-saving benefits."

CentaMeter tracks the use of software whether the applications are
installed on the LAN or on local hard drives. Local application monitoring
helps PC/LAN Managers track software usage throughout the entire
corporation, plan for upgrades, and prevent the use of unauthorized
software.

When licenses are unavailable, users can choose whether or not they want to
be placed in a queue, allowing them to continue working and be notified as
soon as a license is available. CentaMeter also notices when applications
are not in active use and sends the user a reminder to release the
license. This helps to further reduce the number of software licenses
needed by a corporation.

CentaMeter's flexibility allows PC/LAN Managers to prioritize access to
software and maximize efficiency. Software licenses can be allocated on
the basis of individual, group and machine requirements. Time frames can
be designated during which certain applications can be executed.
Additionally, licenses can he manually transferred across wide area
networks.

CentaMeter provides valuable information such as daily application usage
graphs and reports. Administrators can view daily log files and export the
data to any spreadsheet or database application for analysis. For each
application metered, administrators can be notified via MS Mail (or any
MAPI product) when license limits have been exceeded, when a user has been
denied access to an application, or when an unauthorized user attempts to
access an application.

CentaMeter is quick and easy to install with a utility that automates the
installation across the network. It requires Windows 3.x and meters
applications launched from a windows platform on any PC/ LAN that supports
file sharing and record locking, such as Novell NetWare (3.x and 4.x),
Banyan VINES, Artisoft LANtastic, Microsoft LAN Manager, IBM LAN Server,
DEC Pathworks, and Windows for Workgroups.

CentaMeter is currently shipping and is licensed on a per-PC basis. Prices
range from $9.75 to $7.50 per PC for 101 to 1,000 PCs. Support services
include unlimited use of Technical Support (by phone, fax or modem),
